Sobre algunos heterópteros ibéricos interesantes (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) Resumen: Se presentan algunos datos ibéricos interesantes para Drymus (Sylvadrymus) sylvaticus (Fabricius, 1775), Engistus boops (Dufour, 1857), Orius laevigatus laevigatus (Fieber, 1860) y Tarisa flavescens (Amyot & Serville, 1843). También se aportan datos sobre los heterópteros de tres áreas naturales protegidas en el noreste ibérico, con nueve registros nuevos y/o interesantes del Parque Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac (Barcelona), dos nuevos registros para el Parque Natural del Delta del Ebro (Tarragona) y cuatro registros nuevos o interesantes para la zona protegida de Planes de Son (Lleida).

McEwan, Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor Department of Biology Mark G. Nielsen Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor Department of Biology ii © Copyright by Stephanie Kay Gunter All rights reserved 2021 iii ABSTRACT CAN THE ONE TRUE BUG BE THE ONE TRUE ANSWER? THE INFLUENCE OF PRAIRIE RESTORATION ON HEMIPTERA COMPOSITION Name: Gunter, Stephanie Kay University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Chelse M. Prather Ohio historically hosted a patchwork of tallgrass prairies, which provided habitat for native species and prevented erosion. As these vulnerable habitats have declined in the last 200 years due to increased human land use, restorations of these ecosystems have increased, and it is important to evaluate their success. The Hemiptera (true bugs) are an abundant and varied order of insects including leafhoppers, aphids, cicadas, stink bugs, and more. They play important roles in grassland ecosystems, feeding on plant sap and providing prey to predators. Hemipteran abundance and composition can respond to grassland restorations, age of restoration, and size and isolation of habitat.

RIBES ** ABSTRACT: The present paper is a first addition to tbe preliminary cataloguo Jf the Heteropteru-fauna of the Canary Islands (HEISS & BAEZ.1990) and includes corrections, new taxonomic assignmcnts and further citations from literature and several new records. 29 species are reported as new to the Canarian fauna, but one species is a synonym (Geocoris pvbescens Jak. = G.timidus Put.) and 8 spccies are regarded as doubtíidspccies inquirenda which should be deleted from the list. This brings the total number of species known to date from Canary Islands to 333. Key words: Heteropteru, catalogue, new additions, Canary Islands RESUMEN: La presente aportación es una primera addenda al catálogo preliminar de los Heterópferos des las islas Canarias (HEISS & BAEZ, 1990). Incluye enmiendas, nuevos cambios taxonómicos, datos complementarios y numerosas citas inéditas. Todo ello se desglosa en cuatro secciones distintas dentro del segundo capítulo: referencias adicionales y cambios en la literatura, citas canarias nuevas, citas isleñas nuevas y specics inquirenda. De este acervo hay que entresacar 29 especies para incorporar a la fauna canaria, con relación a lar 3 13 inventariadas, pero una es una sinonimia (Geocoris pvbescem lak. = G.rimidus Put.) y 8 especies más se consideran dudosas, por lo que se eliminan de la lista, quedando pues un total de 333 especies que se estiman válidas.

    EIS Kenniscentrum Insecten en andere ongewervelden Stichting EIS is het kenniscentrum voor insecten en andere ongewervelden. De stichting doet onderzoek en geeft adviezen over beleid en beheer. Daar- naast houden we ons bezig met voorlichting en educatie. We hebben een brede kennis over de ecologie, verspreiding en bescherming van ongewer- velden. Het bureau werkt samen met ruim 3000 vrijwilligers verdeeld over meer dan 60 werkgroepen, elk gericht op een specifieke diergroep. Door dit netwerk van specialisten en vrijwilligers hebben we naast goede kennis over populaire groepen zoals bijen en sprinkhanen ook ruime expertise met be- trekking tot andere insecten en ongewervelden.

A new genus and species, Yuripopovina magnifica, belonging to a new coreoid family, Yuripopovinidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomomorpha), is described and illustrated from the Lower Cretaceous amber of Lebanon. The species represents the first definitive Mesozoic record for the Coreoidea. A cladistic analysis of Coreoidea, including the new family, is undertaken. KEY WORDS: Pentatomomorpha, Coreoidea, Yuripopovinidae, fam. n., gen. n., sp. n., Lebanon, phylogeny. INTRODUCTION The Pentatomomorpha with its 14 000 known living species (WEIRAUCH & SCHUH 2011) is the second largest of the seven heteropteran infraorders (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS & KERZHNER 1975) (Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha, Leptodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomorpha). Most authors recognize five superfamilies within Pentatomomorpha, but there remains controversy regarding the 628 Polish Journal of Entomology 80 (4) composition of these superfamilies (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS 1961).
